Roussette "Prieure st Christophe" (W) 2024

Harvested entirely by hand, the grapes are picked in whole clusters, sorted, and gently pressed after a brief skin maceration. The must undergoes a long, cool settling phase at 10 °C for 96 hours before fermentation begins.

Maturation takes place 12 months in barrels followed by 6 months in vat, bringing both depth and purity.

The vineyard sits on the steep, south-facing slopes of the Combe de Savoie in the Bauges Natural Park, on soils of ancient glacial moraine mixed with alluvium, silt, and clay-limestone scree — a terroir that delivers both mineral tension and aromatic richness.

Appearance: Light, radiant gold.

Nose: Elegant and expressive, with notes of white flowers, fresh orchard fruit, and subtle exotic accents, all lifted by a clear mineral edge.

Palate: Smooth and generous texture with flavors of candied pineapple, ripe pear, and delicate honeyed tones. The finish is long, floral, and persistent, balancing richness with alpine freshness.
